Shroud Criticizes PUBG Dev Over Release Time of His Weapon Skins
By Nicholas Barth ·
Popular PUBG Twitch streamer shroud stated during a recent stream of his that his deal with PUBG to have personalized weapon skins added to the game was a large deal, but it had been poorly organized.
Former professional Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Cloud9 player Michael "shroud" Grzesiek has quickly risen to become one of the top Twitch streamers on the popular platform and can often be found collecting chicken dinners in the battle royale title of PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds.
While many battle royale players and streamers have made the switch to Fortnite Battle Royale over the past few months, shroud has continued to utilize PUBG as the main game of his Twitch stream. This commitment to PUBG by one of the most followed streamers on Twitch was no doubt a major factor in the developers of the game deciding to create custom in-game skins for both shroud and Guy "Dr Disrespect" Beahm.
The Ghosted crate for shroud and the Speed and Momentum crate for Dr Disrespect both contain two personalized weapon skins that utilize the logos and color schemes of the brands of the two streamers to allow fans to show off their support of the two PUBG content creators, while they chase after chicken dinners.
However, the exact time for the release of the new weapon skins for shroud had been unknown to even shroud himself. He went on to elaborate on the situation during his stream last night citing that the custom skins deal with PUBG was somewhat poorly organized, but that the integrated system with Twitch for the selling of the skins could potentially be a very large deal.
"Do skins drop at midnight or later in the day? I’m trying, I’m on my phone, I’ve been messaging people, trying to figure it out. I’m a be honest, this whole skin thing, it’s great don’t get me wrong. I just feel like it’s little poorly organized. It could have been a little bit better. But yeah, I’m not getting the right kind of communication for whatever reason," said shroud. "So I dunno, I’m trying to get an answer, I’m asking, but I feel like they may not even have an answer because Twitch is integrating a new system for the skin thing. This could be a very very big deal not only for PUBG, but for Twitch. They’re integrating a new system for this, so it’ll be kinda cool."
The PUBG streamer later posted to his Twitter account that the shroud Ghosted PUBG weapon skins would be available to purchase on his Twitch channel beginning at 10 AM PST.
